REUTERS/Esa AlexanderCAPE TOWN, Dec 1 - South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has been under mounting pressure since anhe may have committed serious misconduct in relation to a large amount of cash stolen from his game farm.
But with less than a month to go before the party chooses its next candidate, he is battling for political survival.Everything changed for Ramaphosa when South Africa's former spy chief, Arthur Fraser, walked into a police station in June and accused him of money laundering, corruption and covering up a large theft of cash.
Ramaphosa said there had been a break-in and that a much smaller amount of cash - proceeds from the sale of game - had gone. He denied covering up the crime, saying he was away when it happened and that he reported it when he got the details.
